Coffee Rush by Trusty

[raw]
made by Trusty for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Hey newbie, you're on your own for this shift. Try to serve the customers in a timely manner and don't let the line run out the door! We have a reputation for speedy coffee and our customers won't hesitate to start complaining.

Use WASD/ZQSD/Arrow keys to move between the stations and Space to interact. Get your customer's order at the register and interact with the register again to fulfil it. If you screw it up then just grab a new cup. When interacting with a station you can click which coffee/tea/flavor you want, then click and hold to pour.

Customers will spawn outside every ten seconds. On normal mode time will stop while pouring coffee to give you a break, but on impossible mode the timer never stops. You fail if you end up with too many customers waiting (you can't see the full line but you can see the customers coming down the street out the window). The drink orders will get progressively more complicated, requiring you to mix the correct percentage of coffee, milk, tea, and flavor. There's also an ice machine!

The game was made using Unity, Blender, Audacity, Krita, Photoshop. All the 3d modeling and all animations were done entirely from scratch in blender. SSTwo SSOne.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5dMGzd0VAc

Thanks for playing! I made all the game assets in blender, and recorded a 4 part playlist of it in real time

Great job on the custom assets :) A nice, cute little barista game, not sure I expected to see one here but it's very nice, relaxing and sweet :)

This game is great, and the 3D modeling is very impressive! Almost looks like something you would see from Surreal Entertainment or something. Only problem I had is how close together the "new cup" and "open register" buttons were to each other. But otherwise very well done!

This was well done and interesting, although I did get stuck pretty early on.

Wow, this captures the frustration of being a Barista! I couldn't figure out how to dump my incorrect drink. Great job, very immersive!

as a former barista this brought back some unpleasant memories, but that proves you did a good job immersing the player in a pretty decent sim game. nice one!

Great job on the 3D assets! Unfortunately the WebGL version is a bit too small on the resolution side, and it was a little annoying to have to be pointing directly at the stations to be able to use them. Great environment though!

This game is stressful in a good way, lmao.

Fun little game, great work on the assets!

Reckon it would be a little nicer with a different camera view so that it's easier to switch between stations (I found it a little tricky to get to the register) but other than that was really fun! Nice work!

Fun game! people wanting different portions of liquids in their drinks is a very interesting mechanic

I like it! Good gameplay loop and chill vibes. It reminded me of the papa's games. Good use of the theme without making the game too stressfull. Nice work!

I enjoyed this one! As a coffee weirdo, I appreciated the theme and gameplay. I hit a few situations with more complicated orders where I couldn't make a customer happy and had to restart the game. Other than that, really good!

A fellow coffee game :) But you are clearly more experienced in blender than I was haha.

My only complaints are that the new cup is too close to the register so I accidentally chose it a couple times. It's also sometimes a little difficult to get the percentages right.

Really impressive to do this all in Blender! The angle was a little tricky to get my head around, but it wasn't so bad once I started playing. The line very quickly got overwhelming but that felt like part of the challenge.

Impressive 3d assets here! It would be better if we were slightly closer to the till to work out which station is which. But good fun (stressful) dealing with everyone's weird orders.

Can definitely fall into a satisfying workflow. Would be nice to have some indicator for how close the player is to losing.

Nice work on making all of the models and animation yourself. That's impressive for the time scale. I liked all of the little micro-tasks around adding the different ingredients and the animations for them. Also, thank you for making the recipes understandable to someone who doesn't drink coffee :P


Those customers sure were annoying. Makes me appreciate that I've never had to work in food service.

@bougiebirdie @cheeks I think we all had the same idea!

I couldn't stop laughing at the voice acting in this one! Great job with your game!

Good and very chill game. The graphics are nice, and the gameplay works fine, except for the milk section. I don't know how to poor the milk. I already click and hold, and it's not working. But other than that, everything works.

I couldn't stop laughing because I've never been this stressed out playing a cafe tycoon game, I mean the voice overs lol. But I'm just joking, the game was fun and it wasn't that hard as I thought it was the second time around. Thank you for the experience though, that was definitely a good one lol.

hahaha is this real life waiter simulation? because clients telling i'm not fast enough and me making round trips to find products looked very realistic!
controls are not super easy at first glance, but the game is funny (the voices add a lot) and well made overall, congrats!

The gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but nice once you get the hang of it. The voice acting was a nice toutch.

Nice! Moving the camera in a bit would be a big help, but it was fun!

Funny game! liked a lot! nice mechanics and art, good atmosphere and sounds, maybe needs a couple of sound effects and trying another camera view but I really enjoy it, "can you make it right these time" lol, great work!

This is very nice entry! I managed to serve only 4 customers (first time) but I would like to try to play more! It is fun to play, interesting concept, nice both graphics and audio! Very good job. :smiley:

Nice game! I liked the 3D models. I hit some problems when I couldn't figure out how to make tea with 75% skim milk, but it was fun overall. The dialogue was funny, but it might have been better if it occurred a bit less often and thus repeated less. Thanks for the game!
